Phil Wickham had Christian music fans celebrating all weekend-and it wasn't just because of his unforgettable performance at the Harvest Crusade.

Fresh off leading thousands in worship alongside evangelist Greg Laurie, the award-winning worship leader surprised fans by unveiling his brand-new single, "Everyday Hallelujah," a song he says was born from a simple but life-changing reminder: God deserves praise in every season.

The new single, arriving July 24, also features a very special collaboration with Christian music legend Michael W. Smith, making it one of Wickham's most anticipated releases of the year.

"What an honor to sing this one next to Michael W. Smith," Wickham shared. "He's carried the chorus of 'Awesome God' for so many years. To sing this new version alongside him was such a joy."

The announcement came just as Wickham reflected on another unforgettable night at the Harvest Crusade, where thousands gathered to hear the Gospel and worship together.

"Nothing better than seeing so many people give their lives to JESUS!" he wrote after the event. "These nights are always such a sweet reminder of the power of the Gospel. To God be the glory!"

His heartfelt post quickly filled with emotional responses from fans around the world.

Many praised Wickham for consistently pointing people toward Christ rather than himself.

"Hallelujah to the Eternal God, the One whose reign is forever and ever," one supporter commented.

Another wrote, "My God, what an Awesome God," celebrating the collaboration with Michael W. Smith.

Others thanked Wickham for allowing them to experience the event through the livestream, saying the worship impacted them even from home.

One particularly moving comment came from a fan who revealed they had recently broken both legs and had been unable to attend the Harvest Crusade in person.

"I was supposed to be there last night but I fell and broke both of my legs!!! Thank you for streaming this last night! It was sooo good and extra spiritual for me," the fan shared, adding that seeing Wickham live again has become a personal goal during recovery.

Meanwhile, excitement continues to build for "Everyday Hallelujah." Wickham says writing the song challenged his own heart before it ever reached listeners.

"Writing this song was a reminder to myself that God is worthy of our praise in every moment," he explained. "I hope listening to it does the same for you."

With a major new single on the horizon, a high-profile collaboration with Michael W. Smith, and thousands publicly responding to the Gospel at Harvest Crusade, Phil Wickham's latest weekend served as another reminder of why he remains one of Christian music's most influential worship leaders.
